What are the uses of a flask?

The round bottoms on these types of flasks allow more uniform heating and/or boiling of liquid. Thus, round-bottom flasks are used in a variety of applications where the contents are heated or boiled. Round-bottom flasks are usually used in distillation by chemists as distilling flasks and receiving flasks for the distillate One-neck round-bottom flasks are used as the distilling flasks in rotary evaporators.This flask shape is also more resistant to fracturing under vacuum, as a sphere more evenly distributes stress across its surface.


How do you separate two miscible liquids of significantly different densities?

The liquids are allowed to separate into layers


What effect does the condensation have on distillation when liquid is runnung from the bottom of the distillation column back into the distillation flask?

returning condensate is rich in high boiling point allowing lower boiling point substance to distill over.


What is a distillation flask?

A distilling flask is a round bottom flask that often has two openings, and some of them have a long neck.it is used for distillation processes. See the Web Links to the left for pictures and more information about how to use a distilling flask.


How can tetrachloroethylene be recycled by distillation?

Of course! (Says this lay person) By using another liquid that has a higher boiling point! Fractional Distillation with a condenser, round bottom flask, and a fume hood. Chemdawg!

Thin long-necked liquid container with a rounded bottom. It is also used as a gas genertor is distillation set-ups. :'>


What is the round bottom flask use for in chemistry?

What is the difference between simple distillation and fractional distillation?

Simple distillation refers to the "simple" separation of a solid and a liquid by evaporating the liquid and collecting it after it passes through a condenser to be changed into a liquid state. Fractional distillation refers to the more complex way of separation, usually involving a liquid/liquid mixture (eg. ethanol and water). these can be separated since they both have different boiling points. When this mixture is heated the ethanol having the lowest boiling point boils off first, followed by the water. However the fractional coulomb condenses both gases back into liquid, and fall back in the flask, with time the ethanol gains enough energy to over come the fractional coulomb (this happen before the water does this since ethanol has a LOWER boiling point) and pass through the condenser, changes into a liquid and is collected.


Why is diesel fuel removed at the bottom of a distillation tower?

Low volatility.


What is the use of florence flask in laboratory?

The Florence Flask is used for heating subtances that need to be heated evenly. The bulbed bottom allows the heat to distribute through the liquid more evenly. The Florence Flask is mostly used in distillation experiments.


What is the name of the round glass vessel used in a lab for distillation?

Distillation (round bottom) flask or bulb.The lower one is called the 'boiler' or 'still', the other is the 'receiver' or 'condenser'


Small facts about distilling salt water?

the saltwater is boiled the steam rises and is collected as the salt is left solidified at the bottom of heated container.
